Looking back at the 2003 draft at the players selected roughly where we will be picking, would anyone not trade the 3 for Eric Staal?

I agree. Even with the deeper than average draft, the chances of those 20-30 picks of being impact players is still pretty low. The top 5 this year are still cream of the crop and a team would be stupid to trade out of that.
